為了滿足24／7社會的需求，輪班工作是有必要的。輪班工作是在傳統常態的朝九晚五工作的時間表之外，而且以不規則的工作時間為特點，存在各個行業之中。然而，這種非常態的工作時間會擾亂自然的日夜節律，若調節不良會導致輪班工作睡眠障礙（shift work sleep disorder）。輪班工作睡眠障礙與多種健康風險有關，包括認知功能受損、事故風險增加、以及各種新陳代謝和心血管疾病等。第一線的護理人員幾乎都必須執行輪班工作，病人方能獲得完整的照護。這篇文章旨在討論睡眠的生理學，應用現有文獻討論輪班工作對護理人員的影響，進而提供策略來調整睡眠，以促進身心健康。該些策略包括組織介入（例如優化輪班安排），也包括個人介入（例如改變生活方式），使用時間生物學技術（例如光療法），以促進日夜節律的調整等。

Objectives: For nursing staff, shift work is inevitable, and it may change related health behaviors. The effects of these factors on the occurrence of metabolic syndrome is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of shift work and related health behaviors with the parameters of metabolic syndrome among nursing staffs. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 129 healthy nursing staffs were recruited. Questionnaires were administered to obtain the subjects' demographic characteristics and health behaviors. Parameters of metabolic syndrome were also measured. Results: After adjustment for the effects of covariates, a linear regression model showed independent positive associations between rotating shift work and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level (p＜0.01), and fixed-night shift work and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level (p＜0.01), respectively. In addition, nursing staffs with body mass index ≥ 24 Kg/m^2 also had an independent positive association with wai
